I took this off the design wall...
It is time to put this quilt top together...
I piled the quilt blocks and
flying geese units on a design board
so they can travel easily to the machine...
It took a bit of measuring and fudging
to get the quilt blocks to fit nicely
along the sides of the horse panel...
The flying geese units
were a bit of a chore to get them to fit
the quilt and keep all the points pointy...
I had to do lots of fudging on the seam allowances
to get the flying geese borders to fit...
We are ready for the final borders...
After auditioning too many fabrics,
this distressed brown fabric made the cut...
That final dark brown border really
makes that light inner pieced border just shine !
It is good to have this off the design wall
and all pieced together.
I am hoping to have some time after
the holidays to get it under the needle
and get some machine quilting done.

I was not ready to read that the word "fudging" is part of your vocabulary! Your work looks always so pretty and perfect. Merry Christmas from Texas.

Thank You Marilyn. My Cowboy enjoys changing out the quilts on the living room wall. I walk in the door and he has a different one up on the wall.
